Cup with Dragon Handles

Cleveland Museum of Art

White jade cup with two dragon handles on either side. The cup is carved from a single piece of jade and has a rounded body with a flat base. Two dragon heads protrude from the sides, each with an open mouth that forms a handle. The dragons have intricate details, including scales and texture. A small animal figure sits on the rim between the handles. The jade has a smooth, glossy finish and exhibits a subtle off-white to light brown mottling. The background is dark.
